About the role
- Build the CRM planning function from scratch
- Define and implement end-to-end CRM planning processes, including intake, prioritization, capacity planning, roadmap development and execution governance.
- Establish planning frameworks, templates, tools and operating rituals where none currently exist, leveraging best-in-class planning and delivery techniques (e.g., Agile, iterative planning, quarterly/PI planning, backlog management) as appropriate for CRM and Promo Ops workflows.
- Set clear operating norms for how CRM & Promo Ops work enters the system, gets prioritized, planned and delivered - balancing flexibility with predictability at scale.
- Own planning execution and governance
- Lead planning cycles and execution rhythms across CRM squads.
- Translate strategic priorities into clear calendars, roadmaps and delivery plans that teams can confidently execute against.
- Ensure planning decisions are documented, communicated and consistently applied.
- Establish a single source of truth
- Establish and manage a single, reliable source of truth for all CRM plans, including calendars, roadmaps and customer touchpoints. This central resource must be clear and easily understandable throughout the entire Casino organization.
- Ensure CRM activity, sequencing and ownership are clearly represented and accessible to stakeholders across teams.
- Drive alignment on tools, documentation standards and data hygiene to eliminate conflicting plans and fragmented views of CRM work.
- Ensure demand, capacity and dependency alignment
- Make demand, capacity, dependencies, risks and tradeoffs transparent across squads and stakeholders.
- Proactively identify misalignment, bottlenecks or feasibility risks and drive resolution early.
- Partner cross-functionally
- Collaborate with CRM & Promo Ops, Growth, GTM, Analytics, Marketing, Brand, Product and Core Project teams to assess feasibility, sequence initiatives and align on priorities across channels, customer cohorts and states.
- Act as a trusted planning partner who balances strategic ambition with realistic delivery constraints.
- Continuously improve planning rigor
- Continuously refine planning processes by evaluating effectiveness (what's working/not), identifying remaining friction points and adapting to meet evolving organizational needs and scale.
- Reduce reactive work, last-minute changes and rework by improving upfront planning quality, governance and cross-team coordination.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in planning, program management, operations or a similar role within CRM, Marketing, Growth, or Promo Ops teams.
- Proven experience building or formalizing planning processes in environments with limited or no existing structure.

- Demonstrated ability to manage dependencies, assess feasibility and balance competing priorities in fast-paced environments.
- Hands-on experience with planning and workflow tools such as Jira, Airtable, Smartsheet, Asana or similar.
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence and align stakeholders across all levels without direct authority.
